Tutor – Providing A Truly Individualised Learning Experience
A thoughtful and committed family is seeking a Tutor to work 1:1 with their bright and intellectually curious child. This is a part-time, long-term opportunity (initially 10 hours per week, built gradually) to co-create a learning experience that is shaped around the child’s passions, strengths, and emotional readiness.
The Role Includes:
* Designing and delivering a flexible curriculum through tasks that align with the child’s cognitive strengths (particularly in Science alongside other STEM subject areas), with minimal perceived demand.
* Using real-life contexts, video modelling, and engaging content to scaffold learning in ways that feel motivating and meaningful.
* Supporting the child’s readiness for learning by accommodating pacing, regulation needs, and fluctuating capacity for engagement.
* Embedding co-regulation strategies and supported movement throughout sessions to promote emotional and sensory regulation.
* Building a trusted relationship and delivering learning in a way that feels safe, engaging, and empowering—allowing the child to build on their existing joy of learning through real-world exploration, curiosity-led inquiry, and autonomy.
* Attending termly and annual meetings and contributing to written reports that advocate for the child’s short-, medium-, and long-term needs.
The Tutor Must:
* Have experience working 1:1 with neurodivergent young people, including those with autism, ADHD, and PDA/demand avoidance.
* Be trained in neurodivergence, sensory processing, and trauma-informed, neuroaffirming practice.
* Be confident using indirect, non-directive language and low demand-style communication.
* Be skilled in interpreting verbal and non-verbal cues to assess emotional readiness and engagement.
* Be familiar with visual scaffolding tools and flexible scheduling strategies to support autonomy and reduce demand.
* Be capable of engaging with A-level and degree-level content in science-related subjects, and delivering it in a way that feels accessible, relevant, and non-traditional. An ex-teacher / previous teaching background would be suitable.
* Hold relevant DBS on the updates system or be willing to get this
Why This Role Is Unique and Rewarding:
* You’ll have the opportunity to support a highly capable and inquisitive young person with a real passion for Science subject areas and beyond.
* The role offers the freedom to co-create a learning experience that is truly centred around the child—free from rigid structures and focused on what inspires and motivates.
* You’ll be part of a small, trusted team working together to support the child’s sensory, emotional, and learning needs with consistency and care.
* Sessions are built gradually and flexibly, allowing you to establish strong relational safety and work at a pace that supports the child’s readiness for learning.
* This is a long-term opportunity to build a stable, trusted relationship with a young person who thrives when supported by adults who understand and respect their profile of needs.
